Why is the Democratic party so anti-woman?

Question

Why is the Democratic party so anti-woman?

Answer 1

It isn't.  They picked the first female vice president candidate 24 years ago.  Also, the first woman Secretary of Senate, Attorney General, and Speaker of the House were all Democrats.  Obama was chosen as the nominee based on votes, not sexism.  Sexism also was not a factor in determining his vice president candidate.

Absent and Not Paired.

Owen, Robinson, and Smith of Georgia. The vote came after four hours of debate, during which Democratic Senators opposed to the amendment filibustered to prevent a roll call until their absent Senators could be protected by pairs. They gave up the effort finally as futile.

Answer 3

Why can you accuse us of being sexist now when you screamed and whined if we called you racist a week ago?  Hypocrites.  

We nominated candidates based on policy, not race or gender.  

Answer 4

Anti-woman? you mean they must have a woman on the ticket just because she is a woman?  That is what you call "quota filling" and not anti-woman. I feel Obama/Biden are the most qualified to run this country and attempt to begin to get us out of this nightmare the Republicans have put us in .  

Answer 5

They're not. Why is the republican party so anti-brain?

Answer 6

Because women who form their own opinions instead of trumpeting the party line are "evil" and should be treated like witches.

Answer 7

How are we anti-women?

It was conservatives that fought to keep them away from the ballot.

meg darling:

I neglected to say parties because, as we all know, the parties switched ideologies in the 50's and 60's.  The democrats became more liberal and the dixiecrats broke uff and later merged with the new republicans.  

Party does not equal ideology.  That's why i neglected to mention party.

Answer 8

The Speaker of the House is Nancy Pelosi.. she is like Queen of the Democratic Party. If she's not, Hillary Clinton is. Republicans are the ones USING a woman (Sarah Palin) for the sole purpose of stealing votes for their old washed up candidate. That is sexist. Get your facts straight.

Answer 11
